Visit our photo gallery to see our sanctuary and chapel space up close
“This is the place”, where with the
help and support of the Holy Spirit, “We are the Family.”
This is the place where all are welcome, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Welcome to our church’s “home page” Home. Isn’t that a comforting, welcoming, and warm word?
This is the “home page” of a community of faith that
many people refer to as their church “home.” Indeed,
over 200 people in our area find a spiritual home in the worshipping
and serving family of faith known as First Presbyterian Church of
Ulysses. Each successive page you enter on this site is like another
room where you will find our family at worship and prayer, in study
and fellowship, serving and reaching out with the love of Christ.
Each link here takes you into the neighborhood of the wider church
where we network with Christian partners in mission and service.
Still, at the heart of who we are is our local church home, located
since 1803 in Trumansburg, in the beautiful Finger Lakes region
of upstate New York and the home of Taughannock Falls (pronounced
Tah-gan’-nick). You will find our two historic buildings on
the village’s Main Street. The large brick church building
is home to our newly restored sanctuary, where our 10 a. m. Sunday
worship service is a blend of traditional and contemporary elements,
and where we are very “child friendly”! Our music program
includes a talented choir, an intergenerational hand bell choir,
and, often, various other instrumentalists, all led by Andrew Mattfeld.
Doris Dunlap masterfully plays our magnificent Cassavant Pipe Organ.
Next door is our Chapel building, home of our fellowship hall,
classrooms, offices, and, on weekday mornings, the Trumansburg Community
Nursery School. Foremost among Sunday Chapel functions are the informal
fellowship gathering after worship, the 11 a.m. Sunday School classes
for all ages, and Sunday night youth fellowship. The Chapel also
provides a welcome to various neighborhood groups, including children’s
play groups, AA, and community activities.
Yes, this is our church home, and we offer you a warm welcome into
our family. Please come visit, and stay!
